Section 1 System Overview
2PAA111131-510 13
Section 1 System Overview
The System 800xA is used for process monitoring and control. System 800xA contains the functionality needed for efficient control and supervision of your process.
Key functional areas within System 800xA are:
• Operations
• Batch Management
• Manufacturing Management
• Information Management
• Control and I/O
• Engineering
• Asset Optimization
• Device Management & Field bus.
The operator has access to information from all these areas through the Operator Workplace which is the operator interface to all System 800xA functions.
The traditional operator functions like the process graphics, alarm and event lists, trend displays, and history logs are available. In addition to this, System 800xA allows the operator to have direct access to documentation, standard operating procedures, drawings etc. depending on how the process application has been configured.
Section 1 System Overview
14 2PAA111131-510
2PAA111131-510 15
Section 2 Operator Workplace
The Operator Workplace is the environment from which the operator views and controls the plant process.
The Operator Workplace may have a single or a multi-screen setup. In the multi- screen setup, one screen can, for instance, be dedicated to always show alarms and another to always present the trend display.
The Operator Workplace comes in two versions; as a full client or as a remote client. The remote client is used for remote supervision and control using the intranet/internet. The remote client only supports one monitor.
The operator keyboard can be a standard PC keyboard with a mouse.
It can in addition to the normal keys have dedicated hot keys for fast direct actions.
Open Operator WorkplaceOpen the Operator Workplace from Start > All Programs > ABB Industrial IT 800xA > System > Workplace.
The operator can also open the workplace by using the desktop shortcut.
Basic LayoutsThe Operator Workplace Window is divided into four main parts (see Figure 1) Application Bar, the Display Bar, the Display Area and the Status Bar.
Figure 1. Operator Workplace in Operator Mode
Pinning Section 2 Operator Workplace
16 2PAA111131-510
Pinning Click the Pinned Tool in the Display Bar, (see Figure 2) The display area window will be pinned like a note on a billboard, that is, you cannot change the content of the display window by clicking on the Backward or Forward button, or drop a display on the Drop Target tool.
To enable change of display, remove the pinning of the display.
Figure 2. Pinned Tool
Section 2 Operator Workplace Approval
2PAA111131-510 17
To prevent change of the base display you have to pin it, or press <Shift> when opening an aspect from the context menu, favorites or the aspect browser. This opens the aspect in a new overlap window.
Approval Process critical operations sometimes require an approval (re-authentication) to perform the operation.
The Approval Dialog (see Figure 3) asks for authentication from the operator and sometimes also for an approval (double- authentication) from another user with the accurate permission.
Enter the User ID (with domain if it differs from the default domain) and the password in the User ID area.
Select a reason for approval from the Reason drop-down list.
Enter a comment in Approval Comment if required.
Figure 3. Approval Dialog Box
Approval Section 2 Operator Workplace
18 2PAA111131-510
For double-authentication, the Second Approval area is activated (see Figure 4)
In the Second Approval area another authenticator (the user having the Approve permission granted on the object) must enter the User ID, password and the reason for approval. If required, enter a comment in the Approval Comment.
Figure 4. Double Authentication Dialog Box
Section 2 Operator Workplace Point of Control
2PAA111131-510 19
Point of ControlA Plant is divided into logical sections that can be operated individually by a set of designated users. In a distributed system, multiple users operating from different geographical locations can be responsible for different sections of the plant.
In such situations, to avoid the risk of more than one user operating a section simultaneously, a strict security can be applied.
The Point of Control feature is not set by default in the system. Refer to System 800xA, Administration and Security (3BSE037410*) for information on configuring this feature.
Confirmed Write Section 2 Operator Workplace
20 2PAA111131-510
The Point of Control feature is provided to simplify the process of setting security. Point of Control is a concept that allows dividing the plant into sections.
The Operator having control over a section is called the Responsible User. The Responsible User has security right granted, that other users in the system lack for the same section. A typical scenario is that only the Responsible User will be able to control the process in this section.
Confirmed Write
Figure 5. Confirm Operation
When running a SIL classified application in an 800xA for AC 800M High Integrity Controller, the Confirmed Write dialog box appears. This is to ensure that the required configuration parameter change or process value change is confirmed.
This displays the related object name, the name of the accessed property and the value to be set.
Click Yes if the data in the dialog box corresponds to the values given in the operation. Otherwise, click No.
2PAA111131-510 21
Section 3 Navigation
OverviewSystem 800xA offers a vast variety of navigation possibilities. For example, filters, hot keys, aspect links and favorites.
Filters are used for displaying relevant information for you as an operator.
Aspect links are links in the graphic display that is used to navigate forward and backward within the process.
Hot keys are used to gain direct access to process area displays, or to perform an action on an object.

Acknowledge Alarms in a Graphic Aspect
If a graphic display contains only primitive items that are configured to aspect object properties through expressions, then only the alarms for the object where the graphic display is located will be acknowledged.
This section describes the procedure to acknowledge alarms in a graphic aspect.
In the System 800xA, alarms are acknowledged by using the alarm list or by using the Alarm Control button available in the faceplate.
Alarms in a graphic aspect can also be acknowledged using a single command. The command acknowledges alarms for all visible objects in the graphic aspect. Any alarms for the objects through which faceplates can be opened, are acknowledged.
Following are the two methods to acknowledge alarms in a graphic aspect using a single command:

Section 6 Alarms and Events
The Alarm Management (Alarm Analysis and Alarm Shelving) features are license protected. The description added for these features in this section, are not applicable for all the users
Alarms and events can be viewed and operated from the Operator Workplace through alarm and event lists, alarm summary indication, and so on. The difference between an alarm and event is that an alarm requires an action from an operator (for example, acknowledge).
An alarm list includes the alarms that an operator needs to pay attention, such as unacknowledged or active alarms.
Some alarms may be hidden which means that they will not be included in the standard alarm list. Hidden alarms can still be viewed in the event list. Typically alarms generated as a consequence of another alarm or alarms that are irrelevant for the operator in the current process operation mode may be configured to be hidden.
An alarm list can be configured to include or exclude group alarms. If group alarms are included, all the alarms except the group alarms are listed in the alarm list.
An event list includes the history of both alarms and events. Alarms or events can have different priorities that are indicated by different colors in for example, lists.
Feature Pack Functionality ______________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________________
The following pre-configured lists exist to view different types of alarms and events:
• Process alarm list displaying all process alarms except hidden alarms.
The Alarm Grouping feature is license protected. The description added for this feature in this section, is not applicable for all the users
Priority Levels Section 6 Alarms and Events

• Process event list displaying the process event history.
• System event list displaying the system event history.
• Alarm lists on process objects displaying the alarms for the objects.
• Event lists on process objects displaying the event history for the objects.
Priority Levels
Table 3. Priority Levels for Process Alarms
Process Alarms Priority Level Description Example
Critical 1 Requires immediate operator action to not cause human health- or safety problems, plant
shut-down or environment upset.
Risk for trip of major equip-ment (compressors, extrud-ers etc.).
High 2 Requires immediate operator action to prevent the activa-tion of a safety or process crit-ical interlock. The operator action can prevent process shutdown and/or escalation of product problems.
Too high/low temperature, pressure, level etc. that will activate interlocks that lead to process shutdown.
Section 6 Alarms and Events Priority Levels
2PAA111131-510 43
Medium 3 All alarms where operations have to intervene quickly to prevent process upset or quality loss.
These alarms are important during normal operations but may not disturb the operator during upsets where corrective action is required on critical alarms.
Low 4 All Alarms where no fast inter-vention is required but where the operator is requested to perform some actions as part of his normal task.
To inform the operator that a valve is switched, a motor is started or stopped, a fail-ing instrument, the evolu-tion of some quality parameters etc.
Table 4. Priority Levels for System Alarms
System Alarms Priority Level Description Example
Critical 1 Requires immediate
system maintenance action to not cause System 800xA shut down.
Loss of Aspect Directory, corrupt memory etc.
High 2 Requires immediate system maintenance actions to pre-vent parts of the System 800xA from stop functioning
Loss of communication, faulty I/O module etc.
Table 3. Priority Levels for Process Alarms (Continued)
Process Alarms Priority Level Description Example
Alarm Grouping Section 6 Alarms and Events
44 2PAA111131-510
Alarm Grouping This section applies to the System 800xA 5.1 Feature Pack release only.
A group alarm represents the alarm conditions added to a specific Alarm Group. Defining Alarm Groups in the system reduces the number of alarms displayed in the operator Alarm List.
Acknowledging a group alarm also acknowledges the alarm conditions in the group.
For more information on Alarm Group configuration, refer to System 800xA, Configuration (3BDS011222*) and System 800xA, Administration and Security (3BSE037410*).
Medium 3 All system alarms where sys-tem maintenance has to inter-vene quickly to guarantee System 800xA availability, reli-ability and to prevent system 800xA upsets
Loss of redundancy. Loss of redundant controller unit, redundant communication link, redundant connectivity server. These system alarms are important dur-ing normal system runtime but may not disturb the sys-tem maintenance during upsets where corrective action is required on fatal problems.
Low 4 All system alarms where no fast intervention is required but where the system mainte-nance is requested to perform some actions as part of their normal tasks. Also used for informational messages (only exception to the rule is that alarms always require an action to be taken)
Faulty I/O channel or pro-cess signal. Example of an informational message is a condition of the plant that the operator should be aware of and take into account in further deci-sions, although the condi-tion itself does not require any action to be taken.
Table 4. Priority Levels for System Alarms (Continued)
System Alarms Priority Level Description Example
Shelving a group alarm does not shelve the alarm conditions in the group. Shelving alarm conditions in the group does not shelve the group alarm. The changes in the alarm state of a shelved grouped alarm affects the alarm state of the group alarm.
The alarm conditions in an Alarm Group can be hidden through hiding rules. The group alarm is hidden if all alarm conditions in the group are hidden. For information on alarm hiding, refer to System 800xA, Configuration (3BDS011222*).
